"¶..You'll tap your strengths and enjoy them. We'll marvel at how the brain creates one adaptive "I" after another (side by side now, taking turns in one healthy person). We'll respect how they once protected you, and relax the outdated ones that tie you up. ¶..We can use the ways you're ready for change, so it feels natural. I see adults & elders delighted by fresh thinking, with new relief from false alarm."

"Meaningful change requires us to ask new questions ... so that new meanings can be made. One of the hardest things is to change what doesn't work, while not knowing how to make it all different. For the past 24 years, I have worked with folks who are trying hard to build a life in spite of childhood abuse and neglect, or who just don't understand why life isn't working out the way they hoped."

"Living a life that feels true to ourselves may take additional support and understanding. Sometimes life becomes overwhelming, either because we are faced with trauma, loss, illness and other transitions, or because we are experiencing unexplained feelings that are keeping us in a stuck place. I would like to work together with you to help you better understand yourself and create the changes that you want to see in your life. My style is relational and authentic. I want you to feel supported and better able to become who you want to be. I use mindfulness and CBT when helpful."

"Despite all that you have achieved, you get the feeling that something is missing in your life. A recent transition, relationship or career challenge may be making it clear that some things are not working. You may also notice that you end up playing a familiar role in your relationships and this creates a "stuck" feeling. At times you feel overwhelmed with worry, pressure or dread and may be resorting to addictive patterns or substances in order to cope. You don't want to feel "lacking," anxious or stressed out. You want to feel better and be better with yourself and others."

"Adolescence is a truly complex phase of life, and for many it is overwhelmingly stressful. Hormone, brain, and body changes only add chaos to the social, family, and academic pressures- and all just before launching into the responsibilities of adulthood. All of these competing forces can leave many adolescents feeling stressed out, anxious, depressed, withdrawn and angry. I specialize in working with teens to develop their own balanced sense of self. Through overcoming difficult past and present experiences and enhancing their powers of clarity, playfulness, and self-esteem, teens are better prepared to tackle life's challenges with confidence- now and into adulthood."

"I welcome collaboration and creativity in the therapeutic process. My approach is to listen with curiosity and attention. Together we can decide what form our work will take.
